Boosting trust in “real-world” studies of health and medical interventions
February 18, 2026
Using real-world data from electronic medical records and registries helps researchers answer important medical and healthcare questions when randomised trials are not available or possible, with a new guideline released to improve the public’s trust in these studies.
The TARGET Guideline was developed in a global initiative by researchers from Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) and UNSW Sydney, as well as Harvard, Oxford and Johns Hopkins to improve how studies that use observational data are reported across all fields of medicine and health research.
